The Alexandra in Worthing

Probably one of the best pubs in Worthing

Ignore the girl Hailie! Just a bitter ex employee who left on her own back because the manger asked her not to bring her boyfriend, who would just sit and drink tap water for her whole shift! (Bit concerning!). The employee would sit down with said boyfriend and chat whilst she was supposed to be working. The pub was a lovely pub with lovely food, staff and atmosphere! Hopefully it’ll be back open soon!

For someone who use to work there, i would never recommend this pub to anyone. Firstly, The roast dinners you had on the 9th of June 2024 were in fact all microwaved because the oven was broken and the food was not a fresh stocked. Secondly, The chefs also would use the same utensils after they had dropped them on the floor. (I was in the kitchen when this happened and the chef said shut the door so no one sees) how grim. Thirdly, The Boss would let customers tabs go over £1000 pound at a time, would sit down with these two individuals and drink whiles meant to be on shift. He also would get angry at me for my partner to bring me food as i had been working from 4pm. Fourthly, He would shout and be disrespectful towards his workers, He would even slag every one of his customers off to me. Fifthly, He tried to firer me for my partner being a paying customer. (so i left)

Used to be busy and do great food but only seem to do snacks now and always pretty empty, it's sad because ot has a lovely beers garden and lots of indoor space

food, staff , atmosphere and music are amazing... guaranteed a good time at the Alex - great pub for everyone and any occasion 10/10 would recommend, wouldn't go anywhere else!

This pub has good bands & disabled access & toilets, 👍will visit again when next in Worthing.

This pub is a closed shop .. you have the same people day in day out hogging the most comftable seats ..esp whilst the euros were on. How is that right. One particular mature guy thinks he owns the place .. foods over priced and the drinks are .

Great pub... lucky to have it as my local.

A lovely Sunday Roast, served by the friendly landlord and his team at The Alexandra. Good value in a relaxed atmosphere. The pub quiz every other Thursday is good fun too.

We had a delicious roast dinner here today. Food was piping hot and exceptionally tasty. Wonderful side of cauliflower cheese. Great size portions and everything tasted fresh and was beautifully cooked. Service was efficient and very friendly. Great value too at under £12 for a choice of either Beef, Turkey or Gammon with all the trimmings. Sat in the lovely garden in the sun. Highly recommended and we will return for more.

Never again. It’s a pub for local people, tumbleweed when anyone living more than a mile away walks in. 90% male clientele and a rude landlord that tuts if you haven’t got payment ready when he wants it.

We have been going to the Alexandra for around three years, last year we started to go to other venues due to lack of effort, atmosphere, customers and poor management. more recently the lovely, friendly owner has taken over with a very accomodating bubbly team and has completely changed the ambience and lifted the spirits of the pub. It's now busy all the time and filled with friendly people. They now sell food again which we've tried various dishes of and it is by far the best pub food we have eaten in anywhere we've attended. From variety of sports on tv, darts , poker and quiz nights it really does have something for everyone. We have been told live music will be starting soon which we are most looking forward to, with some of the best local musicians entertaining we can be sure a good night is guaranteed, if your local to worthing I cannot recommend this pub enough, it's great to see an amazing pub finally thriving.

Great atmosphere & people! Staff are very welcoming & friendly!!!

Very much a locals pub but friendly staff will go again

Friendly staff and customers. Proper pub

Had a good night saturday. With friend's

Very friendly pub and had an awesome karaoke night out on Saturday night 😄

Good choice of drinks, have to check glasses in case they're a bit dirty, one was and got replaced quickly

Steak was perfectly prepared! Just what I needed.

New landlord is a Liverpool supporting, moccasin wearing ball bag. He clearly bullies his staff at every opportunity even though he only has a couple of them left, as his chef/cook has abandoned ship. If you enjoy frozen food from Brakes Bros this is place for you.

Absolutely terrible since the old landlady left the new management are terrible bullying staff in front of customers their chef walked out because they told him your a cook not a chef and ordered him to cook everything from frozen as fresh was not cost effective they were very abrupt and had a real bad attitude even more so towards staff they have lost their chef and their bar staff and they have only been there a few days the cleaning was absolutely terrible old food on floor dog ends in pub. DO NOT GO HERE SINCE ALI LEFT ITS NOT THE ALEX THEY HAVE RUINED IT THERE CHEF WALKED OUT ALL THEIR FOOD IS FROZEN NOW AS THE CHEF REFUSED. Do not go here there are plenty of much better pubs that do food in the local area avoid Alex all costs Great choice from the owner to put these lot in, silly man oh well.

Good evening playing bar billiards, good sounds on the juke box and good service

A wonderful pub and very friendly staff

Lovely pub lovely staff food spot on smashing suntrap for a landed garden doing friendly. And it's getting busier by the wk Sunday roasts which im looking forward to this wknd .

Great afternoon and good beer. Shame the football was disappointing.

Exalent pub staff really friendly and amazing atmosphere would recommend to anyone

Nice staff shame they leaving and dog friendly

Top notch,you have to book for obvious reasons,keeping this quality needs numbers. First class,cooked to perfection and presented 5 star. 😁

I visited this pub in March 2022 for a wake. The pub is basic but clean and some of the furnishings could do with updating. However the staff could not have been more helpful. They put on a lovely spread, fresly made sandwiches, along with all the usual finger foods. Would recommend.

Great - today I was mostly spoilt at the lovely lady Lou Lou,s 80th birthday bless her - we should pop over there another day love - the staff were very chatty and pleasant even with this ol fella asking questions about the last time I came in there was a billiards table - oh that was some time ago I was told - yes the last time I visited would be around 1997 - we must pop in again - Terry D xx

Great Pub. Food is fantastic and the entertainment is fab. Pamela Jane and Diva's

Proper English pub. Great food excellent range of beers. Live music. Great staff

Absolutely amazing.thankyou to everyone at alex.foods banging!!!

Visited the Alex, with my wife for the steak night on a Thursday night. We had a very good reception and a great meal in nice and quiet surroundings with some good music, enjoyed the whole experience, recommend a visit, we will be back

Nice and clean, pleasant enough but seems to have lost its soul from the old days.

Pleasant staff and clean safe surroundings. No food in the evening.

Went for a late lunch today and discovered the Alexandra pub. Best find we’ve had for ages. We had the roast lamb dinners, as it rare to find that on offer. I can only describe it as the meal of discovery. It is beautiful looking dinner that tastes even better. I was really chuffed to find several types of veg that were all beautifully cooked. The potatoes were perfect and the Yorkshire a triumph! I moved on to dessert. This was a pure act of gluttony, as I was totally full after dinner but can’t resist a sticky toffee pudding. It did not disappoint and made feeling over full well worth while. The pub itself is very clean and the staff are friendly and really know their stuff. I cannot recommend the Alexandra highly enough. Thank you Steve Reeve and Kat Danielle Barr

Fab food, great staff, good atmosphere & all reasonably priced! Big garden & dogs welcome.

A true local pub that sells the most amazing roast, I opted for the roast beef, which was cooked to perfection. My husband and mother had roast, which was equally delicious. Great selection of veg too.

Great roast, would 100% recommend

Not a good experience ..went there for a meal ..and for £12 didn't expect a cold burger ..tiny bap and very few chips ..and why not serve meals on a plate . Chopping board ? Really ? So my girlfriend had to eat her meal alone whilst I waited for another burger and chips ...no offer of any money off for the inconvenience...just a waste of time and money ..will never go there again ..to be honest ..my meal was worth prob £4 at most

I cant fault the management and staff ,very friendly place to be ,even with the current situation nothing is to much for them to help and accommodate customers

Really nice pub. Very friendly, nice food

Great atmosphere in the garden tonight the staff were very helpful and friendly .thanks for a much needed night out xx

As this has been our first time out since lockdown my best friend and I wanted to cone to your pub to enjoy the gardens and have a few drinks and food, to which we all enjoyed very much until the last drinks that we ordered were not the same as the previous drinks that we had as we kept them the same. We explained and called over to get the manager whom argued with us and was basically telling us that we were wrong and he was right even though it was different the last 5 were served in clear glases palma violet with aromatic tonic on side, the last 2 were served in pink glasses with no tonic on the side and the manager argued with us that it was palma violet when we know it wasn't and just trying to discuss it and charge more and was very rude with his service. And shall not be going back there again, I suggest any one that goes remember the manager is always right and not the customer.

we had a great day at the Alexander pub service very good we definitely would love to go back they have well organised back garden enough seats and atmosphere so relaxing and just enjoying the drinks and food I recommend it .

Without a doubt, this is the best Sunday roast I've had in a long time. Plenty of everything, beautifully presented and cooked to almost perfection. My only criticism is the beef had no pink. Other than that, it was divine. An extensive selection of vegetables, including cauli, leek, roast potatoes and parsnips, broccoli, peppers, red cabbage. Properly cooked Yorkshire, not all air like some. The sticky toffee was light and not over sweet, just right. Didn't snack all day afterwards, which is unusual for me; kept me going for at least nine hours. Going back next week for the lamb!

The food was very tasty, well presented. The atmosphere was great everyone seemed to be happy even with social distancing. Recomend it.

Well presented roast lunch with plenty of trimmings. Different types of veg stacked up on plate although not sure about mixed peppers with a roast!

Offering basic, but tasty, menu. Helpful, attentive staff. Free Wi-Fi. Dog friendly. Clean, with minimal Covid bollox. Bit cold, and wasn't made aware of text ordering service, but keen to try delicious looking Sunday roast so will go again

Lovely pub felt really safe in there as always excellent service from Steve and kat

Friendly local pub, offering basic, but tasty, menu. Helpful, attentive staff. Free Wi-Fi. Dog friendly. Clean, with minimal Covid bollox. Bit cold, and wasn't made aware of text ordering service, but keen to try delicious looking Sunday roast so will go again

Just had a delicious Sunday roast at The Alexandra Pub, Worthing. Booked on the day and was greeted by our host, Kat. Everything was properly socially distanced and the food arrived very quickly. I would absolutely recommend this establishment for a meal any day of the week but especially Sunday! The chef should be congratulated as his food is presented like a work of art! We will be back.

Lovely and very safe visit to our closest local pub. Abbie was brilliant, very relaxed around customers whilst enforcing the covid safe rules. Lovely to sit in a pub for a couple of hours with a G&T and chat. Definitely be back!!!!!!

Love this pub. Great food including their Sunday roasts 5*, great staff and friendly landlord and lady. Have made this our local. More recently Karaoke and quiz nights have started again. Booking at the moment if you want to come down. Try it you might like it!

This is by far one of the best roasts I’ve had in a long time! Everything just tastes so fresh and tasty! Sam the Chef is so passionate about the food he serves! Landlord and landlady are very accommodating. Thanks for being great! ❤️

Great to be back great service really good nice to catch up with old friends definitely recommended.

What a shame this lovely place has just become a hobby for the new landlords . All they do is mess about with there mates and if your face doesn’t fit well you might as well leave . No atmosphere anymore and a our group miss the 2 boys . Just not the same.

Very friendly local with a great beer garden run by lovely people. Totally recommended.

We always enjoyed The Alex's food, but now, as cooked by chef Sam, its Sunday roasts are simply STUNNING! Beautifully presented in such a way as to reveal all sorts of delicious surprises (yes, half of the dish's veggies lie under others, awaiting discovery!), our lamb and chicken were cooked to perfection, moist and full of flavour, with a very tasty gravy. And the portion size would satisfy the biggest Billy Bunter! Kat and Steve are the obliging and cheery hosts, there's an excellent range of drinks, and in good weather there's a charming garden in which to enjoy some of them. Overall, it's a highly satisfying Sunday lunch venue - but come hungry, because The Alex loves to feed you well!

Very nice pub friendly staff nice garden

Decent, old fashioned boozer. Would be glad of it as my local

Nice management good atmosphere nice garden

4adults 2 kids. Lunchtime. We all had something different to eat, and food was absolutely spot on. Will return with friends to eat and drink in the near future. Nice friendly pub. New owners are very welcoming. Try it if you live nearby.

Genuinely the best roast dinner I have had in a very long time! Generous portion sizes, and a selection of 4 meats to choose from which is over and above all other establishments I have visited in the area. Proper sausagemeat stuffing, parsnip chips as a garnish as well as the roasted ones. My only criticism is my roast potatoes could have been a little more crispy, but I'm really grasping at straws so my review is as balanced as possible. Staff are friendly and welcoming, venue is clean and tidy, overall a great experience!

I’m absolutely chuffed that this lovely little community pub finally has the landlord and lady it so deserves. It’s also really good to see it busy, and all the customers happy, and more importantly, really valued. Thank you Kat and Steve for keeping a really welcoming place to come and chill for an hour- or an evening. Long may it continue.

Went to meet friends for Sunday lunch,found new very friendly and welcoming owner's,so helpful and cheerful.the Sunday roast was amazing and plenty of it,I had beef my wife had lamb, highly recommend

I visited the Alex today with my partner and friends and received a very friendly welcome, our roast dinners were beautifully cooked and presented, my beef in particular was a triumph. We spent the afternoon in good company in a good atmosphere playing bar billiards which was hilarious at times. Happy New Year to the staff at the Alex.

Land lord and land lady very cheerful and polite would recommend this pub for a drink and entertainment

First time visit today since Kat and chef husband Steve took over from Darren and Chris. They bring experience from running the very well-regarded Old House at Home in Broadwater to the Alex, and today indicated a very good replacement for the lads. My companion and l had a vg Harvey's and my lunchtime standby, Barefoot white Zinfandel, nicely chilled, and two really good beef burgers with cheese and bacon, plus skin-on fries. Good size excellent burger, fries just as they should be, not greasy, crispy outside, fluffy inside. We admired the tomato relish so much we asked for two more pots! Kat has a lovely sense of humour and, in spite of her and Steve currently putting in 16-hour days, you wouldn't know it. The pub's had a little refresh inside, and remains immaculate. We're so pleased much of the original menu's been kept as the Sunday roasts were huge and delicious. What is so nice is that all the food's made fresh, not hauled in and frozen until micro-nuked. Great start, Kat and Steve. We'll be seeing lots more of you! Jon (and friend John)

My first visit here for a Sunday Roast with the new owners.. Absolutely blown away with it, Everything was perfect.... I’ll be back every Sunday.

Lovely building but awful experience.

Thanks to the pleasant staff, clean pub and decent wine, we’ve been in and out quite a few times over the last year or so. You see the same faces customer-wise, which I think is really nice. It’s the absolute ignorance of the 2 landlords that really gets me. They have yet to smile at us, let alone say hello. They sit chatting to other customers, so I know they can do it!!! Bit of a shame. If they ever decide to move on, hopefully their successor will do a better job of being host.

My colleague had his retirement party here. Excellent choice! The food put on was lovely, bar staff welcoming and very helpful. This pub has come a long way from not knowing how to cook a baked potato and beans!'It's great! I must say the ladies toilets are very clean! The garden is big with lots of room for children to run around, and a barbeque. A must visit pub in Worthing,and a bus stop outside. I can highly recommend this as a place to meet, great and eat!

Friendly staff. Not a great mix of beers but a good selection for an out if town pub near Worthing. Had to sit outside dye to smokers in our party, it's a Shane the out door heaters weren't working. Would go back again.

I love this place. Always accommodating friendly and the food is really nice. Dog friendly as well with a fantastic beer garden.

Clean new, and good value pub grub. Lacking old world charm, but with very friendly locals

I love this pub, best welcome, best pub games, best garden, best food and most importantly best landlords x

Great pub with a nice beer garden

Nice to catch up with friends & sit in the garden on a warm & sunny evening.

Best thing about this place is the garden at the back very pleasent

Lovely clean well decorating & finished establishment. Food is good value for money. Always a friendly welcome!

Nice decor friendly staff. Not that busy during the week but weekends great atmosphere

Good place to meet friends and a large garden

Very relaxed, happy atmosphere in the bar, great music playing from the 70's and the Harvey's was excellent!

It had a very funny smell when we arrived. Alcoholic and hot drinks are very cheap though. They have a lovely garden too!

very nice pub! discount for NHS staff.

The food is brilliant and the pub very clean and friendly. Well recommended.

Electric cigarettes spoiled the evening, I thought they were banned here.....went home early.

It is a long time since we visited the Alex as we found it depressing due to the fact it was empty( though the food was good). Today, a Monday, we visited again. We arrived at 12.10 and found it was almost full! Plenty of people having a drink and lunch. We had a drink and ciabatta. Well served and very tasty. The Alex has had a refit and new comfy furniture. It was good to see it so busy and we shall definitely be back.

Great pub and staff..defo would recommend 😀

A lovely evening in the Alex. Great staff and a great place to meet up with friends! Only quibble, not enough of my favourite gin!

Friendly welcome and very enjoyable Sunday roast.

Lovely friendly pub with weekly entertainment - just how a local should be

Great food and very relaxed atmosphere. Really good service and very accommodating and helpful with my elderly mother in her wheelchair. Easy access for disabled people. Thanks we ll be back

Friendly pub, v good blue moon beer with a slice of orange, tasty pickled eggs, liked the beef lasagna and chips, next time I will have the pickled cockles. Boards games, try Logo. Def come back here.

Friendly participants and good service.

Loved the band Jessie boy f Simon on bass

Always good food and good service

Walking into the pub I decided I liked it immediately, has traditionally feel but equally modern and clean. Friendly staff at the bar and enough customers in the pub to show people use it whilst also not been rowdy or with TV’s in every corner etc...Food, this is where the star rating was lost, menu looks all quite nice and I went for home made curry and rice, not sure if the nan bread was for eating or standing my drink on, I struggled to snap them in half !! Chicken was quite tuff too. Would gladly go back for a drink but will skip the food next time.
